I know you all love books, so today I’ve got a fun giveaway for a new book, Big Impact Landscaping by Sara Bendrick.  Transform your space on any budget with 28 DIY Projects for homeowners to beautify and add value to your home.  Expert landscape designer and TV host of DIY Network’s I Hate My Yard, Sara packs 10 years of experience into this beautiful how-to guide that will teach readers the best, most efficient ways to elevate their yard and get the most out of it at every budget.

We all know firsthand how much landscaping projects impact a home.  I can certainly attest to that with my current home and how much it changed when I landscaped the front yard. Talk about the wow factor!

The book is for crafty men and women who love to get creative and enjoy doing DIY projects.

Sara is giving away 2 copies to my readers, so all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me what sort of landscape project would you like to tackle at your house?  Interested in adding a privacy screen, fireplace/firepit, dry creekbed, water feature?  What’s on your list?

I’ll choose 2 winners at random and you’ll both get a book!  Giveaway ends one week from today!

    We need to add a pergola over our patio to provide shade for family time dinners and such! Also a fire pit would be great!

    My list is so long on things I’ve been wanting to do, but we are at a stand still about whether we are staying or buying another property to build. I feel like it is time to bite the bullet and do some of the projects so we can enjoy. Extend patio, add a sink and fridge, pergola or covered roof to the extension for shade in our hot climate, firepit to enjoy the area year around, and a giant chess game that is on our childs wish list.

    I would love a copy of this book. We need to create a dry river bed through our backyard. I would also like to add a water feature.

    Our back yard could use some work to make it more attractive and we also need to replace the dying shrubs in front of our house. I would love some ideas on adding more curb appeal!

    I have been wanting to add a little area beside the back porch for out door grilling. I have a few ideas, and Sara’s book would be just the thing to kick off this project.

    My husband and I are in the process of buying a short sale that has been vacant to two years! The landscaping is terrible. There is a pool in the backyard and I would love to add additional decking and a pergola!
